Tambins come in several keys; from E, up to Bb. The most common
ones are F, F#, G, Ab and A. They produce one complete diatonic
scale, starting on the lowest note of the second register (the 3rd
of the scale) and going up three registers to the sixth of the scale.
The first register is disconnected form the scale. These instruments
are usually constructed from a conical vine from the forests of
Guinea, the largest end being on the side of the embouchure and
tapering down to where the fingerholes are. The bore can vary from
5/8" to one inch.
